Check UK still takes antigen test 

This is Murcia venue but they have other venues check out

To translate into ENGLISH

Go onto the website in chrome browser and then right-click the mouse and click translate to English 

Cost me under £18

I have had my test 20 euros at the end of January and my husband end March 2021 for rapid antigen test (waited 5 mins collect on day) 

Meets more than governments rates 

It is 

For the antigen test 

The test has a sensitivity of 95.4% (our government's requirement 80%)

and a specificity of 100% (our government's requirement 97%)

with accuracy of 98.91%

https://cardiosalus.com/prueba-covid-murcia/ 

Easy to book online a test with lots of times to choose from. 

Once I have landed in the UK and got through with this test will let you know all OK

back in uk ok

Yes went from Alicante airport at the checking in desk they wrote in the boarding pass.  PCR Ok

At Gatwick airport at border control checked my antigen test and let me through and my husband for the same test 2 months later

So the 20 euro (£17.29) antigen test worked. All ok 

DO NOT OVER PAY for PCR test

Went to Murcia for the antigen test yesterday. Took us less than 15 minutes in/out with certificate.

Travelled from Alicante today and antigen certificate fine. Not even asked for it at border control at Heathrow.

Now self isolating for 10 days and waiting for delivery of the £170 (day 2 & 8) tests required in UK after arriving from Amber country.
